India Secures Dominant 10-Wicket Win Over USA in Blind Cricket World Cup
15 Nov
Summary
- India advances to Blind Cricket World Cup semifinals
- USA makes World Cup debut after year-long development program
- India bowlers and fielders shine in 10-wicket victory
On November 15, 2025, the Indian women's blind cricket team secured their place in the semifinals of the Cricket for the Blind 2025 Women's T20 World Cup with a dominant 10-wicket victory over the USA. This was the USA team's debut in the World Cup, having been assembled over the past year through an unprecedented developmental partnership with Indian institutions.
Opting to bat first, the USA team fought hard but was limited to 60/8 in 20 overs, thanks to India's disciplined bowling and sharp fielding. Tatyana and Caroline demonstrated resilience for the USA, but wickets kept falling as India's bowlers maintained tight lines and created constant pressure.
In response, India chased down the target in just 3.3 overs without losing a wicket. Player of the Match Simranjeet Kour blasted an unbeaten 31 off 12 balls, while Kavya N.R. complemented her with a swift 21 off 12 balls, sealing the match in minutes. The gulf in experience between the two teams was evident, but the spirit displayed by the young USA side reflected their courage and commitment to the sport.
India now turns their attention to a highly anticipated showdown against arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday in Colombo, as the tournament enters the semifinal stage.
